Aperture 2.1.1 with OS X 10.5.5 freezes the Application
I upgraded yesterday to OS X 10.5.5.
Now Aperture (v2.1.1) on my G5 Quad gets to the "loading..." stage with images and freezes. It never loads the hi-res images and I'm left looking at a pixelated image. A force quit is the only thing that'll shift the app.
I have no idea what to do now. At best Aperture has always been a clunky and uneven application for me, but I've wanted to stick with it thinking the 2.0 revision would iron out the kinks and the amazing potential would shine through. Oh boy, I wish.
Is there any way back or maybe a solution out there? Or should I abandon it, admit defeat and and move to LightRoom? Any help would be sorely appreciated. I want to stick with Apple products, but only if they work. Right now Aperture is dead.
Hey there Clem:
My Quad G5 has the factory NVidia GeForce 6600 graphics chip installed (I never got round to upgrading the chip - and the machine is 3 years old now). I have 8.5GB RAM, 1.4TB of storage and use an Apple 23" Cinema Display.
As an update, I tried to open the packages of the Aperture Library. I could get all the way down to the individual photographs, but trying to open in Photoshop (to resave), gave me an error message.
After 2 kernel panics in rapid succession (while trying to access the images through Aperture), I rebooted into my secondary drive (running 10.4.11), and rebuilt the directory using DiskWarrior.
That's where I'm at right now. In other words not sure what to do?!
It seems I've lost over a third of ALL photographs from my library - they appear to be corrupted (or something). Hundreds of hours of images taken from various parts of the world (and of course thousands of dollars). My current session (from ACL in Texas are still on CF drives).
Apple are - as usual - unreachable.

I had problems with Aperture 3.4.1. It was telling me that my video card isn't supported. Funny thing is I was using it earlier today. I trashed the application and downloaded it again. Now it hangs up and won't load or I get the occasional note that the graphics card doesn't meet requirements.
All,
One last trip to the well today and seems llike it is resolved. The end fix was to create a new user account and then drag my data over from my existing user account. It seems that there was something within my existing user library that was currupting Aperture causing it to fail to at launch. Couldn't figure out what exactly, but this seems to have done the trick. Now i have been working for the better part of the day in a stable manner. I will update in another day assuming all is well. Good luck if you have this problem it is a total pain in the a**. -
I have problem with selecting and Copying is some of the applications
I am using blackberry passport. I would like to know how to select text and copy text from pages of YouVersion Bible. When I was using blackberry bold 9790 it was simple but now I am using blackbery passport I have failed to know how to perform that task.
While the content of many books, including the Bible have no copyright, the effort that the developer has gone through to be able to present it in an app could be. Not saying it is, I have encountered apps where I think the developer in advertently turned off features such as resize or copy.

HT204655 How can I get an Aperture version that works with 10.10.3?
Photos seems to be a minimal improvement to iPhotos and a terribly inadequate replacement for Aperture. Aperture is working with 10.10.2 on my new MAC, but when I installed 10.10.3 on my macbook, Aperture is crossed out. When I open it, I get a message "this version of Aperture does not work with OS X Yosemite". It also says I can get the correct version from the App store for free. when I look for Aperture on the App store it is not listed. What has Apple done?
I Called Apple and they walked me through the process of getting Aperture to work on OSX 10.10.3:
Find Aperture in your Applications folder then
Drag it to Trash and empty Trash (your Aperture library is not affected by this).
Restart your computer
Log on to App Store, and find your Purchases
locate The Aperture application.
It should show Install, and not Upgrade at this point.
click on that to download Aperture 3.6
instal that in your Applications folder.
Of course, this only works if you purchased Aperture from Apple, and registered it with them.
This is worked for me and I now have Aperture 3.6 running on Yosemite. The drawback here is that there is no further support will be offered for Aperture, so another alternative will eventually be required. I took advantage of an offer from Adobe, and downloaded Lightroom CC and Bridge CC (Creative Cloud). I already had Photoshop CC, but they bundled it all together for me at a very reasonable price. All these applications will use your Aperture and iPhoto libraries should you wish to import them into the application, so there will be no duplication of Libraries. Hope this helps you like it did me.
Thank you for posting your solution. I'm sure it will help others in the future.
You know, many people continue to use discontinued software for years without problems. There are millions of people out there still using iMovie HD 06 and iDVD because there is nothing better. -
SPM 5.2 - problem with reason/activity fields - not showing in the report
Dear experts,
I have a situation that is hard to describe.
We have SPM 5.2 - all set and working, now the problem is that for some of the FF sessions the tool is either not reporting the reason/activity fields (due to some technical problem that is occuring randomly) or the users have found a way to abuse the fields and make thier way around them. (these fields are very important for our SOX controls)
I have created test users to see how they are entering without filling the reason/activity fields, but no luck - i couldnt enter.
As you know the Activity field is mandatory text field and at least one character must be entered, but I don`t think this is the workaround, because even if you put space the report still will show it. I have examples where the report is not showing anything.
The worst is that I can`t simulate such cases.
Have you ever heard of such nosense?
Thank you,
IliyaI think I found it - Application deficiency. It is the language that you are logged with. If it is not English the application is not recording the text that you type in the reason/activity fields upon FF session.
I hope the latest patches are fixing this!

We have been attempting to resolve this error in our Lab Environment with FireFox version 14.0.1. The application has been virtually installed in our PC environment, running WIN 7 and launches without error for most users. When performing the suggest "fixes" at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/couldnt-initialize-applications-security-component we found:
1. There is adequate hard drive space
2. Permissions are set correctly.
3. Once the "Cert8" file is deleted it does not regenerate upon logging out and relaunching Firefox. Not sure why this occurs.
4. Could not create a new profile since these rights are not extended to users in the lab environment.
Is anyone using Firefox in a similar lab environment, having this same issue and been able to resolve the problem? Does version 15.0.1 address this problem and provide a fix?Try to remove or rename the secmod.db (secmod.db.old) file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
If that didn't help then remove or rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Aperture No Longer Working With Screen Saver?
For years I've been using my Aperture library (specifically, the "Flagged Photos") with the Screen Saver in OS X. Since I upgraded to Lion last night, I have discovered that my Aperture library no longer shows up as an option in Screen Saver -- only iPhoto does.
As I am remiss to ditch years of work and return to iPhoto -- I was hoping someone might have discovered a solution for this problem (perhaps something to do with the iLife browser in Lion?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Kluv32 wrote:
Then, I checked the new sharing preferences and closed out Aperture. I opened up the System Preferences for Screen Saver, and after waiting about 1-2 minutes, Aperture popped up in there as an option.
Can you please explain what you mean about "checked the new sharing preferences?" I see no way of setting any "sharing" preferences in Preferences or anywhere else in Aperture. Do you mean you just looked at the sharing preferences?
Since I've upgraded to the latest version, when I go to the System Preferences, Aperture is very slow in showing up on the ScreenSaver settings under System Preferences and the virtual Library folders no longer show up (they show up under the Desktop window though). However, after closing Aperture, the screensaver would display "looking for pictures" and would not display the photos.
The latest upgrade definitely broke something, although it greatly improved Aperture's response time, as it was getting pretty sluggish before the upgrade. -
On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..
Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it. -
After installing the 4.09 fix to process RAW from Sony RX100 (after updating to 3.5.1), photos do not continue to load into Aperture from the external hard drive where they are referenced. The same photo is stuck in the adjustments frame to be worked on and the photos will not advance, no matter what I try, so i can work on the next one. I can only work on a few at a time and then i have to go away and come back another day. 4.09 does fix the barrel distortion but it has completely gummed up the uploading of the referenced photos. It's taking me days and weeks to process a couple of hundred photos.
The Macbook Air is a low end Macintosh for graphics apps and you are asking it to perform a heavy pro workflow using a pro application. The integrated GPU of MBAs is a serious limiter to heavy graphics. Personally I would expect flaky performance with certain operations. In general I recommend that Aperture users choose boxes with independent GPUs and capable of taking 16 GB RAM if necessary.
It will be important to carefully optimize workflow. How much RAM is in the MBA? The most Apple specs is 8 GB but you can check OWC to see if you can go to 16 GB. My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out at 8 GB RAM before I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
You should evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM:
Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture/Photoshop work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working for a few hours and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they can be misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, manually count page outs before and after a work session.

I currently use OS 10.6.8 and Aperture 3, and just got a Nikon D600. It seems the the RAW Compatibility updates (4.01) are for use only with OS 10.7.5 or later, is that right? Do I need to update my whole OS to use this camera? Thank you!
Thanks to Bobthefisherman & Turbostar. Turns out I've got a corrupted disk (which I found out via "verify disk" on Disk Utility First Aid. Previously, I never thought to verify disk -- only to repair permissions -- so I never knew my HD had been corrupted.
Wasn't able to do a clean install of OSX10.6 because my SuperDrive only sporadically will load discs, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to see if they can do a clean install, and depending upon costs, get the Superdrive replaced.
The HD wasn't partioned by the way. And I did have just over 40GB of contiguous space.
Thanks again. -
I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5. This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, so I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that in order to upgrade, I need Aperture Version 3, which is what I have. What is one supposed to do??
Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

Cannot Run aperture 2.1.4 with Yosemite
Unfortunately after updating to Yosemite found that Aperture 2.1.4 that was running OK with Maverick is now an unsupported Software. How can Apple do this?
The installation process was not quick so I think that the developers should have a bit of the Customer Hat on and scan the HD for incompatible Software and alert that some specific software is not going to run after the update BEFORE go ahead and give the Customers a Hard Time, and this is an Apple Software.
I am not sure that somebody will come with the solution other than buy the Upgrade but at least I wan to set the record straight. After several years of loyalty with Apple I think that now a lot of users may want to reconsider keep supporting this brand unless the Developing head and Team start to think more like a Customer.
ThanksThanks, appreciate the feedback. Aperture 2.1.4 was a paid application, actually I paid U$200.00 for it and should not be banned form the OS that the very same vendor develops.
But stil the point I want to make is that Apple OS Should run a Hard Drive Scan and advice about potential issues like this before proceeding with the installation, at least the user can take an educated decision and not be frustrated because of the ugly surprise that comes after the update is completed.
I have Aperture 3 installed in a MacPro but I had a terrible experience with the last major update, to the extent that Apple Engineers worked with me for a solid two weeks in order ot identify the problem and come with a new minor release to correct incompability with 3 TB Hard Drives. With that experience I did not want to risk for more headaches and maintained Aperture 2.1 in this other machine, it worked OK with Mavericks.
As I stated in the original post, I do not expect that somebody tells me that I need to update, kind of know that. The concern is that Apple has been increasingly careless with the Customer experience with the last updates they released, another example is the iTunes / Podcasts mishap that kept the forums quite busy for a while. The new iTunes has a UI that is quite different from the previous version and same issue with older one. I see that is fancy but recalling the famous phrase about a Mac is the computer I would buy for my mother... I see that consistency should be the key in order to keep audience loyal, very few people is willing to learn ahow to use the very same application with every new update, that in some cases you are forced to install in order to be able to access your content or connect the peripherals you may own.

Aperture is not compatible with Apple TV
Apple Support has confirmed that the preview function in Aperture is not compatible with Apple TV. Don't buy Aperture if you want the same resolution on Apple TV! Stick with iPhoto!!
Works fine here, but must note that only a single Aperture Library can be selected, and this is to the exclusion of the iPhoto Library.
Right-click on the Aperture Library and choose Show Package Contents. Look for the iPod Photo Cache folder, and open it. Is it populated by lots of subfolders, which in turn have content? What is the date that the iPod Photo Cache was last modified. You may not be able to check this now, having dumped Aperture, as you say.
This folder is the source of what iTunes will see for sharing. It probably can be removed, and then rebuilt by selecting what to Share. Or maybe just removing its contents, and rebuild the selections. But there is one per Aperture Library, and one in the iPhoto library, which is why only one source can be used to sync.
